A REAL-LIFE Whitchurch fairy tale saw a young princess morph into a potato queen on Sunday in front of a record number of spud worshippers.
A smashing 1,600 visitors were recorded at the town's annual two-day weekend festival with potato fans buying up a tasty nine tonnes of potato seed - equivalent to 12,000 tubers.
Organiser Graham Burgess said: "I think the 30 per cent extra visitors shows that there's a growing interest in the festival. Visitors came from a wide range of ages and from a lot of different places across the country."
